Computational Model and Constructal Design Applied to Thin Stiffened Plates Subjected to Elastoplastic Buckling Due to Combined Loading Conditions

The size of ships has increased considerably in recent decades. This growth impacts the stress magnitude in the bottom hull plates, which constantly suffer from biaxial compression and lateral water pressure, potentially leading to buckling. Adding stiffeners is an effective alternative to increase...
